Born in a Kannada-speaking family in Bengaluru, Swami Sukhabodhananda’s tryst with spirituality occurred when he was just 20. A disciple of Swami Chinmayananda and Swami Dayananda Saraswati, he went on to establish Prasanna Trust, a charitable organisation that engages in social-oriented service and imparts spiritual transformative education to young and old.
